How do I do coursework online?

Topic outline

Welcome students and faculty at Concordia College Alabama to the Hornet E. Learning Portal where we engage in learning online to supplement our traditional classroom instruction.

Since students need to submit assignments and have them graded as in an traditional classes, it is necessary to login to participate in courses.

Your current campus email username and password (any address ending in @ccal.edu) should be good for logging on to online courses as well. If you do not have have a working email account, you need to contact the IT department in Wright Complex.

If you see an activitiy like this it means that your instructor wants you to do something like take an in-class exam or upload a paper or give an answer to a question. Normally the assignment will be graded and will have a time frame or deadline set when it is due. Click the link or icon and try to submit a response to the question 'What is an online course good for?"

This is like the assignment type above. The difference is that when you submit the assignment. It will be checked against a database of submitted assignments and items posted on the Internet to see if parts are copied, but not footnoted, and measures how much original content seems to be present. It may also be checked for spelling, grammar, and style (you did use spellcheck, right). Try submitting a file. It will be automatically checked.

Quizzes are the online versions of normal classroom assessments that tests the students knowledge and comprehension of a subject by giving a series of questions which students answer individually and are graded.
